(No Lyrics) 

                 Dm                           
Let's start with hope

                             Dm               
I threw in the middle like a skipping stone

    Dm           Dm                             
The ripples won, son of a gun

Dm                                            
Some would not have thought so

      A                       A7         
But I stand here commander in chief.

                Dm                            
And I take that seriously

              Dm                              
But along the way

        Dm                                    
A rogue ripple turned tidal wave

   Dm                  Dm                       
In reaction to, what I tried to do

  Dm                                          
A rebirth of a nation's hatred

A                         A7                     
Red, white, and blue. Is black in there too?

Dm                                            
   Seriously?

F                                            
One man

              A                              
Rewriting the book on bad behavior

Dm                                            
    Maybe cheats the neighbors

A#                                            
    Feels he gets what they payed for

F                                            
We can't

               A                             
Pat him on the back and send him on through,

Dm                        A#                    
  No man's ignorance will ever be his virtue

        A                                    
Is this best we can be?

A7                Dm                            
     Seriously?

              Dm                              
Let's talk of fear

          Dm                                  
And why I don't bring it in here

       Dm                 Dm                    
It's a dangerous word, it spooks the heard

       Dm                                     
And we all bleed in the stampede

A                                  A7              
Fear makes a false friend indeed

              Dm                              
And I take it seriously

            Dm                                
But hear me now,

           Dm                                 
Before the truth gets drowned out

     Dm                                       
By a demagogue flexing

  Dm                                          
A demagogue flexing

     A                  A7                       
He's history repeating

F                                            
Angry?

     A                                       
Am I angry?

               Dm                    
You ask if I'm angry.

    A#                                        
And I'm at a loss for words

      F                                      
After all we've done,

      A                                      
Every battle hard one,

      Dm                                      
Every hair gone gray

        A#                                    
In this name of this place

     F                                       
In a history plagued

        A                                    
With in-credible mistakes

        Dm                                    
Still I pledge my allegiance to these

  A                      A7                   
U-nited Divided States

Dm
Seriously?

               Dm                             
Let's end with why

       Dm                                     
It's a question I

        Dm              Dm                      
Want to ask of us, as a populace

Dm                                            
Why not take our time

       A                      A7             
Or the weight of the story...
